Not just London ...

Sky is reporting other areas to ...

"Tremors have reportedly been felt across Britain.
Sky News has received reports of rooms shaking in Manchester, Oldham, Windsor and Dunstable."



Nothing in Glasgow though.

I FELT IT TOO! In hertfordshire.

I thought my house was falling down or I was tripping out or something...


I ruled out an Earthquake completely just because I thought it's too far fetched for an earthquake in England.

AWESOME. THAT IS SO COOL!

They do happen.  I remember the last really significant one in 1984, slept through this one though...

It was a very strange experience - I thought it was my house finally giving in to subsidence!  But I assumed it must be a mild quake.

I have a work colleague whose partner died last month - she thought he was visiting her from beyond the grave!   :o

It was a relief to see on the news that there really had been an earthquake.

Post by: WezV on February 27, 2008, 01:14:57 PM
slept through this one, slept through the one in 2002 as well.  was probably too young to remember the great quake of 84.

--- why do they never seem to happen during the day!!

I'm not sure - I think he might go one stage dumber and pronounce it "noo-cular".

I think he would definitely push it to the extreme...

Perhaps:

"noo-cular-isation-ing-ment"

I think those last 5 posts were a beautiful thing- through a process of refinement we reached the pinnacle of emulation of Bush's brain activity. Marvellous.

I also ruled out Earthquake, I was thinking like... Nahhhhhhh impossible! And then I started refreshing the BBC news page and nothing came up, I was really creeped out! Then about 20 mins later it appeared :P

I didn't feel it at all, though it takes something really big and loud to wake me up in the middle of the night!

I didn't feel anything.

The first thing I heard about it was an email from my boss this morning.

He's a large fellow, so I emailed back asking if he had rolled out of bed, thus causing it.

He replied that he had, falling off my wife in the process...

W@nker.

I think you'll find the king of all tutors was my 6th form tutor, Mr Scott

With all the news on TV lately about the extreme weather conditions affecting the East Coast of the US, the mud slides in the Middle East and South America, along with the dire predictions made by such films as The Day After Tomorrow, we shouldn't forget that Britain has its share of devastation too.

I've attached a photo illustrating the damage caused to a friend's home from the earthquake that hit lincolnshire the other night. It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take things for granted.

Those flower baskets look dangerously close to falling- that would result in a pretty nasty scratch in the decking and a serious soil spillage.  :o

Well a surveyor was supposed to come and sort this out yesterday. He cancelled all his appointments but failed to let me know. I waited in all day for him and lost a days money. The Croat tuppence lickers screwed down all their flooring on Saturday morning as I heard them beavering around. Pun 'not' intended!  :wink:
